Instructions

Add the milk, tequila, melted butter, eggs and lime zest into a large bowl. Combine well with a whisk or electric hand mixer.
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Start incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
Plug in the cake pop maker to preheat it. Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Fill the holes with the batter, to just below the top. Alternatively, you can use a teaspoon.
Close the lid and bake for about 4 minutes. Remove from the cake pop maker and repeat until you finish the batter.
To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar with the tequila and lime juice until smooth.
When the cake pops are cool, dip the cake pops into the glaze to coat them. The glaze does not have to completely cover the cake pop.
Sprinkle with sea salt and lime zest. Then insert a treat stick into the center of each cake pop. (You can leave the treat sticks out if you would like them to be cake balls instead.)
Let the glaze harden and enjoy!

Notes

These cake pops are intended for adults, as they contain alcohol. Do not serve them to children.
If you're attending a party or a barbecue, store these cake balls (in a sealed container) in a cooler filled with ice to keep the glaze from melting.
And if you're partying at home, chill your cake pops in the fridge for up to 1 month. Like your favorite margaritas, these cake pops are a treat that's best served cool.
They can also be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Freeze them for up to 3 months.
You can offer non-alcoholic variations for your sober friends by making a batch without the tequila. Just replace the tequila with more milk and make sure you know which batch is which--they'll look exactly the same unless you add food coloring to one of the batches.
